2 Kings 2

DOUAI-RHEIMS	GREEK BIBLE
1 And it came to pass, when the Lord would take up Elias into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elias and Eliseus were going from Galgal.	1 Οτε δε εμελλεν ο Κυριος να αναβιβαση τον Ηλιαν εις τον ουρανον με ανεμοστροβιλον, ανεχωρησεν ο Ηλιας μετα του Ελισσαιε απο Γαλγαλων.
2 And Elias said to Eliseus: Stay thou here, because the Lord hath sent me as far as Bethel. And Eliseus said to him: As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And when they were come down to Bethel,	2 Και ειπεν ο Ηλιας προς τον Ελισσαιε, Καθου ενταυθα, παρακαλω? διοτι ο Κυριος με απεστειλεν εως Βαιθηλ. Και ειπεν ο Ελισσαιε, Ζη Κυριος και ζη η ψυχη σου, δεν θελω σε αφησει. Και κατεβησαν εις Βαιθηλ.
3 The sons of the prophets, that were at Bethel, came forth to Eliseus, and said to him: Dost thou know that this day the Lord will take away thy master from thee? And he answered: I also know it: hold your peace.	3 Και εξηλθον οι υιοι των προφητων οι εν Βαιθηλ προς τον Ελισσαιε και ειπον προς αυτον, Εξευρεις οτι ο Κυριος σημερον λαμβανει τον κυριον σου επανωθεν της κεφαλης σου; Και ειπε, Και εγω εξευρω τουτο? σιωπατε.
4 And Elias said to Eliseus: Stay here because the Lord hath sent me to Jericho. And he said: As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And when they were come to Jericho,	4 Και ειπεν ο Ηλιας προς αυτον, Ελισσαιε, καθου ενταυθα, παρακαλω? διοτι ο Κυριος με απεστειλεν εις Ιεριχω. Ο δε ειπε, Ζη Κυριος και ζη η ψυχη σου, δεν θελω σε αφησει. Και ηλθον εις Ιεριχω.
5 The sons of the prophets that were at Jericho, came to Eliseus, and said to him: Dost thou know that this day the Lord will take away thy master from thee? And he said: I also know it: hold your peace.	5 Και προσηλθον οι υιοι των προφητων οι εν Ιεριχω προς τον Ελισσαιε και ειπον προς αυτον, Εξευρεις οτι ο Κυριος σημερον λαμβανει τον κυριον σου επανωθεν της κεφαλης σου; Και ειπε, Και εγω εξευρω τουτο? σιωπατε.
6 And Elias said to him: Stay here, because the Lord hath sent me as far as the Jordan. And he said: As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee; and they two went on together,	6 Και ειπεν ο Ηλιας προς αυτον, Καθου ενταυθα, παρακαλω? διοτι ο Κυριος με απεστειλεν εις τον Ιορδανην. Ο δε ειπε, Ζη Κυριος και ζη η ψυχη σου, δεν θελω σε αφησει. Και υπηγαν αμφοτεροι.
7 And fifty men of the sons of the prophets followed them, and stood in sight at a distance: but they two stood by the Jordan.	7 Και υπηγαν πεντηκοντα ανδρες εκ των υιων των προφητων, και εσταθησαν απεναντι μακροθεν? εκεινοι δε οι δυο εσταθησαν επι του Ιορδανου.
8 And Elias took his mantle and folded it together, and struck the waters, and they were divided hither and thither, and they both passed over on dry ground.	8 Και ελαβεν ο Ηλιας την μηλωτην αυτου και εδιπλωσεν αυτην και εκτυπησε τα υδατα, και διηρεθησαν ενθεν και ενθεν, και διεβησαν αμφοτεροι δια ξηρας.
9 And when they were gone over, Elias said to Eliseus: Ask what thou wilt have me to do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Eliseus said: I beseech thee that in me may be thy double spirit.	9 Και οτε διεβησαν, ειπεν ο Ηλιας προς τον Ελισσαιε, Ζητησον τι να σοι καμω, πριν αναληφθω απο σου. Και ειπεν ο Ελισσαιε, Διπλασια μερις του πνευματος σου ας ηναι, παρακαλω, επ' εμε.
10 And he answered: Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless if thou see me when I am taken from thee, thou shalt have what thou hast asked: but if thou see me not, thou shalt not have it.	10 Ο δε ειπε, Σκληρον πραγμα εζητησας? πλην εαν με ιδης αναλαμβανομενον απο σου, θελει γεινει εις σε ουτως? ει δε μη, δεν θελει γεινει.
11 And as they went on, walking and talking together, behold a fiery chariot, and fiery horses parted them both asunder: and Elias went up by a whirlwind into heaven.	11 Και ενω αυτοι περιεπατουν ετι λαλουντες, ιδου, αμαξα πυρος και ιπποι πυρος, και διεχωρισαν αυτους αμφοτερους? και ανεβη ο Ηλιας με ανεμοστροβιλον εις τον ουρανον.
12 And Eliseus saw him, and cried: My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the driver thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own garments, and rent them in two pieces.	12 Ο δε Ελισσαιε εβλεπε και εβοα, Πατερ μου, πατερ μου, αμαξα του Ισραηλ και ιππικον αυτου. Και δεν ειδεν αυτον πλεον? και επιασε τα ιματια αυτου και διεσχισεν αυτα εις δυο τμηματα.
13 And he took up the mantle of Elias, that fell from him: and going back, he stood upon the bank of the Jordan,	13 Και σηκωσας την μηλωτην του Ηλια, ητις επεσεν επανωθεν εκεινου, επεστρεφε και εσταθη επι του χειλους του Ιορδανου.
14 And he struck the waters with the mantle of Elias, that had fallen from him, and they were not divided. And he said: Where is now the God of Elias? And he struck the waters, and they were divided, hither and thither, and Eliseus passed over.	14 Και λαβων την μηλωτην του Ηλια, ητις επεσεν επανωθεν εκεινου, εκτυπησε τα υδατα και ειπε, Που ειναι Κυριος ο Θεος του Ηλια; Και ως εκτυπησε και αυτος τα υδατα, διηρεθησαν ενθεν και ενθεν? και διεβη ο Ελισσαιε.
15 And the sons of the prophets at Jericho, who were over against him, seeing it said: The spirit of Elias hath rested upon Eliseus. And coming to meet him, they worshipped him, falling to the ground,	15 Και ιδοντες αυτον οι υιοι των προφητων, οι εν Ιεριχω εκ του απεναντι, ειπον, Το πνευμα του Ηλια επανεπαυθη επι τον Ελισσαιε. Και ηλθον εις συναντησιν αυτου και προσεκυνησαν αυτον εως εδαφους.
16 And they said to him: Behold, there are with thy servants fifty strong men, that can go, and seek thy master, lest perhaps the spirit of the Lord hath taken him up and cast him upon some mountain or into some valley. And he said: Do not send.	16 Και ειπον προς αυτον, Ιδου τωρα, πεντηκοντα δυνατοι ανδρες ειναι μετα των δουλων σου? ας υπαγωσι, παρακαλουμεν, και ας ζητησωσι τον κυριον σου, μηποτε εσηκωσεν αυτον το πνευμα του Κυριου και ερριψεν αυτον επι τινος ορους η επι τινος κοιλαδος. Και ειπε, Μη αποστειλητε.
17 But they pressed him, till he consented, and said: Send. And they sent fifty men: and they sought three days but found him not.	17 Αλλ' αφου εβιασαν αυτον τοσον ωστε ησχυνετο, ειπεν, Αποστειλατε. Απεστειλαν λοιπον πεντηκοντα ανδρας και εζητησαν τρεις ημερας, πλην δεν ευρηκαν αυτον.
18 And they came back to him: for he abode at Jericho, and he said to them: Did I not say to you: Do not send?	18 Και οτε επεστρεψαν προς αυτον, διοτι εμεινεν εν Ιεριχω, ειπε προς αυτους, Δεν σας ειπα, Μη υπαγητε;
19 And the men of the city said to Eliseus: Behold the situation of this city is very good, as thou, my lord, seest: but the waters are very bad, and the ground barren.	19 Και ειπον οι ανδρες της πολεως προς τον Ελισσαιε, Ιδου τωρα, η θεσις της πολεως ταυτης ειναι καλη, καθως ο κυριος μου βλεπει τα υδατα ομως ειναι κακα και η γη αγονος.
20 And he said: Bring me a new vessel, and put salt into it. And when they had brought it,	20 Και ειπε, Φερετε μοι φιαλην καινην και βαλετε αλας εις αυτην. Και εφεραν προς αυτον.
21 He went out to the spring of the waters, and cast the salt into it, and said: Thus saith the Lord: I have healed these waters, and there shall be no more in them death or barrenness.	21 Και εξηλθεν εις την πηγην των υδατων και ερριψε το αλας εκει και ειπεν, Ουτω λεγει Κυριος? Υγιανα τα υδατα ταυτα? δεν θελει εισθαι πλεον εκ τουτων θανατος η ακαρπια.
22 And the waters were healed unto this day, according to the word of Eliseus, which he spoke.	22 Και ιαθησαν τα υδατα εως της ημερας ταυτης, κατα τον λογον του Ελισσαιε, τον οποιον ελαλησε.
23 And he went up from thence to Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, little boys came out of the city and mocked him, saying: Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.	23 Και ανεβη εκειθεν εις Βαιθηλ? και ενω αυτος ανεβαινεν εν τη οδω, εξηλθον εκ της πολεως παιδια μικρα και ενεπαιζον αυτον και ελεγον προς αυτον, Αναβαινε, φαλακρε? αναβαινε, φαλακρε?
24 And looking back, he saw them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord: and there came forth two bears out of the forest, and tore of them two and forty boys.	24 ο δε εστραφη οπισω και ιδων αυτα, κατηρασθη αυτα εις το ονομα του Κυριου. Και εξηλθον εκ του δασους δυο αρκτοι και διεσπαραξαν εξ αυτων τεσσαρακοντα δυο παιδια.
25 And from thence he went to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.	25 Και υπηγεν εκειθεν εις το ορος τον Καρμηλον? και εκειθεν επεστρεψεν εις Σαμαρειαν.
